Governor vetoes bills as budget negotiations continue

"The Democratic governor had threatened to veto the bills piling up on his desk if no on-time deal was reached. In the end, Inslee rejected 27 measures . . . ."

"Republicans criticized the move. 'This is not governing. This is a tantrum,' Sen. Jan Angel, R-Port Orchard, said in a statement. Angel sponsored a vetoed measure that would have changed financial rules for public-health districts."
